The estimates are from a newly selected sample for the 2005 SAS based on the 2002 NAICS and apply only to employer firms. Estimates contain sampling and nonsampling errors. To keep the identity of an individual firm confidential, some estimates may be suppressed. Users making their own estimates, based on the survey estimates, should cite the U.S. Census Bureau as the source of the original estimates only. See <http://www.census.gov/services/sas/cv.html> for measures of sampling variability and other survey information.
